Dear students
We would like to welcome you to this course. This tutorial letter provides some course
guidelines that we hope will assist you in your navigation of this module.
To save time, you should start by reading Tutorial Letter 101 THOROUGHLY in order to
familiarise yourself with what we expect of you in this module. Once you have read Tutorial
Letter 101, you can proceed with a close reading of your prescribed texts.
Read Tutorial Letter 501 together with each text as this provides an overview of how to tackle
poetry and as well as detailed notes on The Catcher in the Rye, The Road to Mecca and When
Rain Clouds Gather. You should also read the appropriate chapters in the prescribed text,
Introduction to English Literary Studies.

essay. Remember to include an introduction as well as a conclusion in your essay.
You do not need to use any secondary sources for this question. If you do, remember to cite
them correctly. If you do not cite your sources correctly, you will be severely penalised.
